zen, Neil McCallum. He was born.
raised and spent long and event
full life here, dying ripe in years
and leaving q monument to his
memory in the hearts of this people
that will doubtless outlast the gran
ite stone that goes to mark his final
resting place. Being public spir-
tied man he was always first in any
enterprise that had for its object
the good of his community either
IN church or state. He was a public
benefactor, although he had his pc
culiarities and excentricities; but
who is without them? His gener-
Gus liberality caused him to spend
the latter part of his life in more
meager circumstances, doubtless,
than he otherwise would have done
had he not had a broad, liberal
heart and noble christian spirit.
None who ever knew him can say OF
Neil McCallum that he was q stin
gy, narrow minded mIserly spirited
man, for all he ever had or made oil
this worlds goods stands to day as
public donations to this community.

D. E. Wilson suspiciously slipped
